Apple’s AirPods Pro face a lot of steep competition from the likes of Sony and Bowers & Wilkins, but they’re still the best wireless earbuds in our testing — and they’re on sale right now. They sound good, feel comfortable, last a fairly long time, and their active noise cancelling is seriously impressive. Best of all, they work well with Windows and Android devices, too.

AirPods Max

Apple’s AirPods Max combine great audio quality in a premium over-ear headphone design. They feature active noise cancelling to help seal off outside noise when you’re listening to music, or taking a call. Switch over to “transparency mode” when you want to listen to music but still hear the environment around you (say, to hear traffic while you’re running or to chat with a co-worker).

As mentioned earlier, these Apple headphones have rarely gone on sale since they launched, but they were discounted for Black Friday and are back on sale now. Regularly $549+, Amazon’s AirPods Max sale has the headphones marked down to just $449.99 — a $100 discount. Get them on Amazon now.
